Linebacker Travis Williams has announced that he will transfer from the University of Miami. Williams was one of four players believed to be suspended for infractions from the season opener, according to unconfirmed reports by subscription site InsideTheU.com. Three of the players were apparently suspended for an incident involving marijuana, and Williams tells the same site the he "didn't like being targeted as a drug user."

InsideTheU.com reported this week that four other players were also suspended for the season opener. An incident on April 27th led to the reported suspension of Williams, running back Storm Johnson and cornerback Keion Payne. An April 29th incident that apparently involved police led to the suspension of offensive lineman Jermaine Barton.

"I didn't like being like being targeted as a drug user," Williams told InsideTheU.com via The Sun-Sentinel. "They can give me whatever test they want, whenever they want. As far as me being regarded as a drug user, I am not. I wasn't happy here. It wasn't about playing time because I was playing in the spring. Things just happened and I can't make everybody happy."

Williams sat out last season with a knee injury, and will now transfer at the conclusion of this semester. He was a redshirt freshman who had yet to play for the team. Ironically, he was listed as the second stringer in his position after Buchanan.
